                • Do not flash 8 times in a minute at full.

 

          • We recommend charging the flash unit for 2 hours prior to initial use and after 

                 an extended period of inactivity (2 to 3 weeks).
             • Due to the high voltage circuity inside the unit, do not attempt to disassemble the 
       flash yourself.
  • Keep out of reach of children.

1/ Preparing Your Flash for Use

1-1 Select a stand or support system of suitable weight and dimensions to ensure stable 
operation of the unit.
1-2 Install Reflector/ Protective Cap and Modelling Lamp

• 

Note

: Take care when fitting or removing reflectors or softboxes not to 

damage the flash tube assembly. The flash tube is very delicate, avoid 
unnecessary handling of the flash tube. Always switch off and disconnect from 
the main supply before fitting and changing reflectors.

• Ensure the flash is switched off and disconnected from main supply. 
Insert the modelling lamp into the socket.

• This unit has built-in soft-start circuitry to ensure longer modelling lamp 
life.

• Pull the cap off and set aside. Install the modelling lamp by insert it into the 
socket. CAUTION: Do not touch the lamp with your bare hands. Oil residue 
from your fingers can cause the surface of the lamp to heat unevenly and 
explode. Use white cotton gloves or clean cloth. Install the reflector where the 
protective cap was before. Align the three pegs on the reflector with the three 
slots, press the refletor and rotate clockwise until it locks in place. To remove, 
push the latch back towards the rear of the unit, and rotate reflector anti 
clockwise.
